Frank will share stories of his grandparents, E. Mortimer & Elizabeth Battles Newlin who first arrived to visit Boca Grande by train from Pennsylvania in the 50s. They purchased the studio home on Gilchrist that was once owned by Louise & Frank Crowninshield. Frank’s grandmother, Elizabeth, later purchased the home on Park Ave. in 1971. Mrs. Newlin became a prominent
winter resident and member of the Boca Grande Community from the early 60s until her death in 1995.
